Auction History Result 4j368 GENE TIERNEY 14x20 Italian special poster 1951 great sexy portrait of the beautiful star! Date Sold 2/20/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Italian Special Poster (measures 13 1/2" x 19 1/2" [34 x 50 cm]) (Learn More) Gene Tierney was born in Brooklyn in 1920 to a wealthy family, and she became a stage actress, but this tall (5'7" actress) who was very beautiful (and could act!) was soon "discovered" by Darryl F. Zanuck (who had a thing for beautiful young actresses). She made 9 movies in 1941 and 1942 alone. Her best two roles (and most memorable) came in 1944 and 1945, when she played the leads in Laura and in Leave Her To Heaven (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Her personal life was very troubled. She had many failed marriages and relationships (including Oleg Cassini, Tyrone Power Jr., John Kennedy, and others), a mentally handicapped daughter (Tierney was pregnant when exposed to rubella by a fan who broke quarantine), and suffered from depression, and she was treated with electroshock therapy. She passed away in 1991 at the age of 70. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this portrait is undated and is printed on a high quality fairly heavyweight paper stock (similar to that used for deluxe photos; it cannot be rolled and will need to be sent in a large flat package), and has "ZINCOGRAFICA ROTOCALCO FIORENTINA" printed in the bottom right corner. We once auctioned it before, when we were consigned a total of ten similar portraits, and each had a 20th Century-Fox logo at bottom right, but no other writing except for the name of the star. They were undated, but based on the stars pictured, would seem to have surely dated around 1951 or 1952. They are probably some special set of portraits that 20th Century-Fox created at that time, and if anyone knows more, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good.
